Only once, I think I was like 9, and was sent to the principal. As it turned out those 5 older boys that me and I friend fought that day were interpreting it as if we were bullying them (In fact, they tried to bully us, suckers...)
Stupidest Reason Why You've Gotten Into Trouble In School.

I did the most insane amount of shit throughout my years of public education, and remarkably barely got in trouble.
My freshman year I brought in a universal remote, and started controlling all the TV's around the school. I almost caused a riot in the lunchroom because I kept changing it from ESPN to History, and the moronic jocks couldn't figure out what was going on.
Also in my freshman year I would routinely put "plasma balls" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0i2lhO3bSjQ) in the microwaves in the cafeteria and walk away. They would start flashing bright colors and teachers would run over screaming.
My sophomore year I had the worst Algebra teacher. He was always 5 minuets late to class and started every day by telling the entire class that we were all failures and should kill ourselves now. I was one of the few people in that class that actually did my homework but he insisted that I never did. I would turn it in every day and get it back the next day with his handwriting and a 10/10 on it. Well I proved without a shadow of a doubt he wasn't giving me credit for the work but no one would do anything about it. It went all the way up to the superintendent of the district and still nothing came of it. Finally I snapped and screamed at the teacher in the middle of class and stormed off. I had to retake Algebra in summer school.
Another teacher my sophomore year liked to blame everything on me. My assigned seat was in the middle of a bunch of loud guys so whenever they started to make noise, he would yell at me. Finally one day I had enough of it. He yelled at me to stop talking and do my work (which I had been doing all along), so I stood up and just started screaming and cursing at him. He threatened to call security, so I dared him to do it. After a several minute glaring contest he just sat down at his desk and acted like nothing ever happened. He stopped blaming me after that.
My junior year I barely went to school. I would skip an entire month at a time and never got in any trouble. The punishment for skipping was a suspension, so just for shits and giggles I would pull a skipping spree, get a notice in the mail for my suspension, and then would show up on time and prepared during the length of my suspension. Most of my teachers were amused by it so that's probably what saved me.
For Halloween my junior year I went as "The Start of Government Oppression". That was the name I gave it in order to get away with it, but basically I went as 9/11. I wore a box I painted silver, and painted windows on. Had a model Boeing 747 sticking out on a dowel rod about a foot, and it would slide along the dowel into the body of the costume. Where the model hit, the cardboard folded in, and a bunch of red and orange tissue paper would poof out. I walked around carrying a copy of the Patriot Act to justify the whole government oppression thing. I pissed off more people than I can remember that day. I got constant death threats, a girl came up to me screaming an incoherent crying noise during my lunch, and I got shoved around a whole bunch. All my teachers thought it was brilliant, hilarious, and "a truly frightening costume". I got sent to the principals office once because some girl in my psych class was crying about my costume. So I went there and waited the whole period cause the principal wasn't there. He walks in just before the bell rings, takes a look at me sitting there and says "I don't want to deal with this shit James, just go somewhere else".
Tons more, but that's all I feel like typing for now.

Being punched in the face while walking by a fight (I didn't notice/didn't care). Oh and stupidest thing that I have done and got away with, my old secondary school's (for americans and those on that system that is ages 11-16) technology department had double-glazed skylights and was ground floor only with a high roof, so I climbed up onto the roof and laid upon the skylight during reception (with a sweater signifying my status as a prefect).
Not much actually, but I have gotten away with a lot of stuff, most notably pulling the zap in class when the teacher saw. My girlfriend was busy saying a speech in front of the class and some pricks were teasing her, It led to me very prominently pulling the xap sign at them, the teacher saw, understood, smiled and said something sarcastic to me before telling the pricks off XD
I also told the same teacher (jokingly) that someone had spiked my drink, (I was laughing my head off literally for the last 2 hours) and he believed me... that was awkward...

when I was in second grade in Korea, severe beating was common
for instance
one time we took spelling test (in korean of course) and at the end, he announced that we would get a slap across the face for each question we get wrong.
I got one answer wrong
and even though it was the best spelling quiz result I've gotten since my days in elementary school, (remember, 2nd grade) I got a massive slap across the face.
from what I can remember, he had very large and thick hands..
one kid got every 10 questions wrong
I did not envy him

I gave the speech at my high school graduation this year and during one of the rehearsals I walked up the stairs "the wrong way" to reach the podium. The principle was standing there and gave me a look that could only be described as a mix between "Fucking kids..." and "If you screw this up I'm pulling your diploma" (which is what they often threatened to do if I went off script. So she made me do it again and then gave me a lecture about the decorum nature of a graduation. Still pisses me off...
Here's something you meet in school early on, but probably don't recognize it until years later (most don't). I don't think it's a vast sweeping conspiracy but rather a product of the same institution that makes teachers drop what they're doing for months and focus on standardized tests (not sure if they do it there, but in Texas and much of America they do, and they get funding for doing it, and it's terrible). The teacher has a very narrow set of responses she's looking for, and she doesn't want to hear anything else. I've observed students getting into trouble or being encouraged to enjoy being lazy a while because they were ahead of the rest of the class - and it's not like the class were performing spectacularly. None of this encourages learning. It encourages feeding the institution. So your family basically having to live in the wilderness for awhile is silenced, while human beings over a decade old are rewarded for describing television as a basic need, an ideal which espoused is fundamentally harmful to that person. Congratulations, you've been introduced to beaurocracy. Sucks, doesn't it?Hauntghost20 said:
My worst encounter with the beast was what in the States was called Zero Tolerance, or as Bill Maher calls it, "We don't have to think." I was a smaller kid with low self esteem and a freshly exploded face (thank you, follicles). So naturally I was picked on relentlessly, especially when I did well academically. One time one of my bullies attacked me, and I shoved him away in response. When we were called to the office, he asked to see the nurse, and had her bandage his hand. He came out and said that he'd had his index finger in the locker catch (it's a hole less than a centimeter across, and he was 13 years old) when I shoved him, and didn't admit to hitting me. I said that he assaulted me, came at me with a punch to the face, and that I shoved him away. I got 3 days of in school suspension. Dickless got nothing. Later, my most consistent bully, a wigger by the name of Bobby Rhodes (think Eminem without the talent or articulation), tackled me and started wailing on me. The school faculty had me so afraid of defending myself that I just shoved him off of me and ran off. We were both suspended, and because I was a "problem student" (all A's, award-winning student who got picked on and did not have a history of fighting back), I had to go to court. I was told by the principal, "You should have laid there and screamed for help." Some part of me thinks that this guy went home and beat off to the memory of telling me that. The school won award for best middle school that year, not in the district but in the entire state.
I was late to lunch. From the nurses office. They tried to suspend me but my mom told them that all they would be doing is giving me days off of school cause she sure as hell wasn't going to do anything.
Well I did get a detension for a reason I didnt know my teacher who was survaying the people asked me why I was here and I said I didnt know but he just said "well I do" and it was never explain why the hell I was there!

i have a shirt that says "back To the Furher" in the logo of Back to the future, my friend bought it for me as she thought it would be funny since im German and love back to the future. so a day after getting the shirt i wore it to school, no one said anything and no one was offended, even my jewish teachers whose parents survived the holocaust chuckled a little when i pointed the shirt out to him. then at the end of the day one of the ADULT education teachers, so someone who isnt even really employed at the school freaked the F@ck out at me, screaming at the top of her lungs because my shirt was racially insensitive against the German kids in this school. technically i didn't get in trouble but i was dumbfounded that this woman was yelling at me so loudly at me for being insensitive against Germans when my backpack said Hamburg, Germany, and my coat had a German flag emblem on both sleeves. it was really, really stupid
Mine was in my first year of secondary school. Me and a couple of friends left the school grounds to go to the shop that was literally two minutes away. There weren't even any roads to cross or anything between leaving the school and getting to the shop. Kids that didn't live locally weren't allowed to go off school grounds except for the beginning and end of the school day so when we got caught coming back we got in trouble big time.
Either that or a few years later when my music teacher was trying to force me to join the school choir but I didn't want to. Me and some friends appealed to the head teacher (he was a jerk about other things too e.g. he called a bunch of 12 year olds 'white trash') and said teacher proceeded to separate us in class for quite a while after that. We had him for Drama as well as Music. Ouch

I once poked someone and got an internal suspension.
For those who don't know, that's a whole school day of detention in a little room.

In 6th grade I got in trouble with my principal for not ratting out who beat up this kid on school property. The thing was though that I couldn't rat out anybody. He grabbed some girl's ass and every other student in the class, 30 including myself, chased him down and beat the crap out of him.
At the same school in 8th grade some kid in class got in trouble for leaving a girl a note that said "You're a pimp." The girl cried and he got 3 days detention.

Grade 10 math class. We had a substitute who is not at all popular. He's a mean, controlling man, and takes every chance he can to demonstrate his power.
Anywho, with my normal teacher, we were allowed to leave the class after the lesson (to go to your locker or the bathroom, for example), and he didn't mind if you didn't tell him. So, acting upon habit, I went to my locker which was literally 5 feet to the right of the classroom door. I returned, and the sub stopped me in front of the class and demanded to know where I'd gone. I told him, and he berated me for not following his (unstated) rules and for acting upon the actual teacher's rules.
"Well, I'm not Mr Smith. I have different rules." One of the oldest excuses ever.
Had to stay for the duration of lunch. Which really isn't all that bad, but the injustice of the situation was incredibly frustrating.

I can't think of any funny trouble stories, sorry, but got a few funny/ awesome stories.
Just today we were playing cricket in PE and our maths teacher who had a free period came over and joined in for a few overs.
The other week we had a really senile cover teacher and a few of my classmates spent the lesson rolling cigarettes, and didn't even stop when he came over. He didn't even notice.
A teacher asked us to "deal him in" when he found me and my friends playing blackjack for money in his classroom at lunchtime.
Another teacher was connecting my personal laptop to the school WiFi network and noticed I had an aperture science desktop wallpaper. A 10 minute conversation about Portal and Narbacular Drop ensued.
I go to an awesome school.

I once got 'loss of liberty' (which was a thing where I had had to get a form signed every 15mins during lunch break by a senior staff member for a week) for running in the corridor.
Whilst that just seems a bit harsh but no stupid here's the thing - I wasn't running in the corridor and the teacher that gave the punnishment agreed.
The person I was with was running but when the teacher came over he said that it was just him. The teacher, she agreed but then said, and i quote "well you were with him" and then gave us both the punishment!
It was the only 'proper' (individual - been part of many class detentions etc.) punishment I had throughout school!
